Info for Nocturnes (Solo Piano)

„Nocturnes“ is the 4th album of Maxence Cyrin. Having realized two albums where he reinterpreted pop, rock and electro anthems as a solo pianist (‘Modern Rhapsodies’, ‘Novö Piano’), then ‘The Fantasist’, an imaginary movie soundtrack, ‘Nocturnes’ is its first album of compositions for solo piano, putting back with current tastes a musical form adopted by several classic composers (Fauré, Field) and popularized by Chopin.

This album, made up by 10 pieces, invites us to a night journey in Paris (Arc de triomphe, Dream over the bridge, Paris spleen), the places where we have fun there (La Bellevilloise, China club), it makes us make a detour to go to lengthen in the boudoirs of a rococo hotel (Velours poussière).

The pianist also invites us in the musing and in the enchantment (The frozen palace), in the melancholy (A tale from the past, In the grey of the sky) and proposes us before putting to sleep us to remember ourselves this night spent in his company (It was a very good night).
